Arsenal ready to go to €60M for Real Madrid attacker James

Arsenal have identified a big money replacement for wantaway star Alexis Sanchez.

TMW says with the money raised from Alexis' sale, Arsenal intend to bid for Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez.

An offer of €60 million from the Gunners will be tabled for James, who has battled for consistent game time under Real coach Zinedine Zidane.

James is also a target for Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, who shares the same agent, Jorge Mendes.

The Colombian spoke openly about leaving Real in December, but was persuaded to stay by Zidane. However, with his circumstances failing to change, the midfielder is now determined to find himself a new club.
